In a message dated 10/2/2012 "Desta Elliott" _d.j.elliott@comcast.net_ (mailto:d.j.elliott@comcast.net) wrote >I am not sure there is a distinction between footnotes and endnotes; just where they are placed in the document. Desta, it's the tedium of paging back and forth to endnotes to find the source for each assertion that I find frustrating. I would rather be able to just glance down to the bottom of the page for the information I want. That said, I do use chapter endnotes in a family history I'm writing primarily for family members, many of whom would be just as content with an Ancestry.com tree with no sources. They can't understand my idiosycarcies about matters they take to be common knowledge, as long as they've appeared in text somewhere. Their attitude is, "Why would somebody have written it, if it wasn't so?"
